Works Required

HB initial works allowance: £13,500–£36,000. This is an investment-feasibility allowance, not a contractor quotation.

No reliable current rent is stated in the supplied scrape. For initial appraisal only, HB estimates market rent at approximately £3,050–£3,725 pcm (£36,600–£44,700 pa). This is an HB estimate and should be verified against current local lettings.

GDV / Resale Analysis

HB indicative post-works / stabilised value range: £486,000–£549,000. This is an appraisal estimate only, not a RICS valuation. Verify against recent genuinely comparable sold evidence.

Potential BRRR Position

Illustrative middle case: guide £450,000 plus midpoint works of £24,750 gives about £474,750 before acquisition/finance costs. At the midpoint HB value of £517,500, an illustrative 75% refinance is about £388,125, leaving approximately £86,625 of purchase/works capital before transaction costs.
